Manchester City star Rodri has sent a subtle shot in the direction of his side's long-term title rivals Liverpool by insisting they are "less effective" this season.
The Reds are the only team that have been truly able to stay within touching distance of City over the course of the last few seasons and actually interrputed their dominance by winning the league themselves in the 2019/2020 campaign. However, things appear to be unravelling over at Anfield after a slow start to the new league campaign.
City currently sit second, one point behind shock leaders Arsenal but Pep Guardiola's side are still yet to lose a single game in their opening seven. In contrast, Liverpool languish as low as eighth with a return of just nine points after six games played.
